Chapter 5: Not Convenient

As soon as she said this, Madam Huo’s eyes turned red. Even the man beside her, Xing Jiuan’s father, had his fingers trembling slightly as his eyes filled with bitterness.

The two brothers behind her didn’t seem to know what to say. They were clearly tall, but they seemed to be dispirited and sad. They could only look at her without saying a word.

“…Can we go in and have a seat?” her father finally asked. The current head of the Huo family had never spoken so humbly before.

“It’s not convenient.”

It was indeed inconvenient. It was very inconvenient for three strange men to suddenly enter the home of a single girl.

“Jiuan, can I go in with you?” Madam Huo asked softly. Her eyes were red and watery.

It seemed like she really loved this child who had been separated from them for nineteen years.

Her voice was overly gentle.

Xing Jiuan did not agree to that either. She stood at the door. In front of her was her biological family, and behind her was her own little home.

“I’m sorry.” Xing Jiuan’s voice was light. “I still have something on. Please leave.”

With that, she closed the door.

Xing Jiuan had always been someone who refused to be disciplined, yet in the past, she did not know why she’d remained with them the entire time she was being bullied by the Huo family. It was as if she had gone mad and just wanted to have a family.

However, more than two years was enough for her to think things through. Or rather, after dying once, she had become indifferent to everything.

The Huo family members stared at the tightly shut door in front of them, a little taken aback.

…

Xing Jiuan’s house was very small. It had two rooms and a living room, making up about a hundred square meters. There were a couple of sofas in the living room, and one of them was very big. Xing Jiuan would often lie there with a small blanket and fall asleep while watching television.

Her house was very clean. There was not much furniture and not much stuff. It was as simple as a hotel. There was not even a plush toy or any decorations. It did not have much of a personality and was not warm and comforting.

Xing Jiuan walked over and sat on the sofa. She hugged her pillow and fell into a daze.

She recalled the past once again.

In her previous life, when she found out that she still had biological parents, she was a little emotional after the initial shock.

When she heard that they wanted her to go home with them, she’d only thought about it for a while before packing up her things and following them back to the Huo family residence.

In her previous life, she’d seemed to yearn for a family.

The Huo family was a huge family with a deep foundation. It could be said that they were truly a top-class aristocratic family.

Huo Jun was the current head of the Huo family and had three children with his wife.

Two sons and one daughter.

They treated their daughter very well, but that daughter was not referring to Xing Jiuan.

After Xing Jiuan returned with them, those people told her to get along well with her elder sister and not bully her.

They were very cold to her. Sometimes, they would even say unpleasant things… When they weren’t bullying her, they would say only a few words to her.

What could be more torturous than being coldly ignored?

Xing Jiuan found it laughable.

Since they didn’t want her and didn’t want to treat her well, why did they want to bring her back in the first place? It was not like she wanted to go.

They would give her a sum of money for her birthday every year as if Xing Jiuan was short of that amount of money.

The four members of the Huo family looked at the closed door and went downstairs, as if they knew that they were not welcomed.

They looked up again after heading down.

Their attire stood out from those of the people here, as if they were in two different worlds.
